Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, and in particular to an inclined barrel plating machine. Background Technology

[0002] The shape and axis of the barrel used in barrel plating are the main criteria. The shape of the barrel refers to the object that the barrel resembles, and the axis of the barrel refers to the relationship between the direction of the rotation axis and the horizontal plane when the barrel rotates. Based on these two aspects of the barrel, the common barrel plating methods in electroplating production are divided into three categories: horizontal barrel plating, inclined barrel plating, and vibration electroplating. In barrel plating, a barrel plating machine is required.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN220643326U discloses a transfer-type tilting barrel plating machine, specifically relating to the field of barrel plating. It includes a machine body and a barrel, with the barrel housed inside the machine body. Inside the barrel is a flipping mechanism, which includes a first sliding groove, a first sliding block, a flipping plate, a telescopic rod, a slide rail, pulleys, a telescopic sleeve, a support rod, and a rotating rod. In this transfer-type tilting barrel plating machine, under the influence of gravity, the flipping plate undergoes free fall motion inside the barrel. The interaction between the first sliding groove and the first sliding block limits the movement of the flipping plate. Simultaneously, the flipping plate moves the telescopic rod, which, under the action of the slide rail and pulleys, extends the telescopic rod and further limits the movement of the flipping plate. Therefore, the flipping plate can continuously flip the parts inside the barrel during barrel plating, preventing uneven plating.

[0004] When electroplating components, existing electroplating solutions require an electric current to pass through them. During this process, high temperatures are generated inside the electroplating solution. These high temperatures can lead to coarser crystals, plating defects, and additive failure. Furthermore, high temperatures can cause chemicals to evaporate too quickly, thus affecting the service life of the plating solution. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problems in the prior art that high temperature will cause coarsening of crystals inside the electroplating solution, plating defects and additive failure, and that high temperature will cause chemical agents to evaporate too quickly, thereby affecting the service life of the plating solution.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an inclined barrel plating machine, including an inclined electroplating tank and liquid guide pipes fixedly installed on both sides of the inclined electroplating tank, a cooling box detachably installed at the other end of the liquid guide pipes and located on the back of the inclined electroplating tank, a swing arm swingably connected to the top outer surface of the inclined electroplating tank, a heat-conducting plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooling box at the middle position, and a vent opening provided on the top surface of the cooling box, a fan fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inclined electroplating tank at the top edge of the heat-conducting plate, and a heat-absorbing aluminum plate fixedly installed on the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, a support plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inclined electroplating box and at one side edge, and the outer surface of the swing arm is movably attached to the top surface of the support plate.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, two sets of overlapping support bars are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inclined electroplating box, and when the swing arm is located on the inner wall of the inclined electroplating box, the outer surface of the swing arm is movably overlapped with the top outer surface of the overlapping support bars.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sealing cover is oscillatingly connected to the top surface of the inclined electroplating box, and the interior of the inclined electroplating box is filled with electroplating liquid that wraps around the outer surface of the oscillating arm.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, a motor is fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the swing arm, and a storage tank is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the storage tank is adsorbed onto the interior of the electroplating solution, and an electroplating rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage tank at the middle position.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, a second sealing cover is movably fitted onto the top surface of the storage container, and the second sealing cover and the two side surfaces of the storage container are provided with latches.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom edge of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate is located at the inlet and outlet of the liquid guide pipe, and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate located at the top edge of the heat-conducting plate is located at the outlet of the fan.

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0015] The inclined barrel plating machine of this utility model, when the plating rod is electroplated inside the plating solution, generates a high-temperature heat source from the power source. At this time, when the plating solution is drawn into the cooling tank by the liquid guide tube, the plating solution will first impact the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate. Under the obstruction of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate, it will collide with the plating solution. At the same time, the plating solution will spread to both sides along the heat-absorbing aluminum plate, thereby increasing the flow path of the plating solution and the contact range between the plating solution and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate. Then, through the thermal conductivity of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate and the heat-conducting plate, the heat source inside the plating solution is absorbed. At this time, the fan on the outer surface of the cooling tank blows air. During the air flow, the heat source on the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate and the heat-conducting plate will be blown away. As the temperature on one end of the surface of the heat-conducting plate and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate drops rapidly, a certain temperature difference will be generated. Then, the thermal conductivity will be used to quickly transfer the heat source away, thereby keeping the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate in a state of thermal interaction.

[0016] The inclined barrel plating machine of this utility model involves placing the components to be electroplated into the inside of a storage tank, and using a locking buckle to seal the top surface of the storage tank. A swing arm swings on the top surface of the inclined plating tank, tilting the storage tank into the tank. Two sets of overlapping support strips on the inner wall of the inclined plating tank overlap the bottom outer surface of the swing arm, thus supporting the swing arm and immersing the storage tank in the plating solution. A motor then rotates the storage tank, ensuring thorough mixing of the components with the plating solution. Finally, an electroplating rod discharges within the plating solution, resulting in a complete electroplating process for the components. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this utility model discloses an inclined barrel plating machine, comprising an inclined plating tank 11 and liquid guide pipes 12 fixedly installed on both sides of the inclined plating tank 11, a cooling tank 13 detachably installed at the other end of the liquid guide pipes 12 and located on the back of the inclined plating tank 11, a swing arm 14 swingably connected to the top outer surface of the inclined plating tank 11, a heat-conducting plate 131 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooling tank 13 at the middle position, and a vent opening provided on the top surface of the cooling tank 13, a fan 133 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inclined plating tank 11 at the top edge of the heat-conducting plate 131, a heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate 131, and a heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 at the bottom edge of the heat-conducting plate 131. At the inlet and outlet of the liquid pipe 12, the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 located at the top edge of the heat-conducting plate 131 is set at the outlet of the fan 133. A support plate 111 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inclined electroplating box 11 and at one side edge. The outer surface of the swing arm 14 is movably overlapped with the top surface of the support plate 111. Two sets of overlapping support bars 113 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inclined electroplating box 11. When the swing arm 14 is located on the inner wall of the inclined electroplating box 11, the outer surface of the swing arm 14 is movably overlapped with the top outer surface of the overlapping support bars 113. A closing cover 112 is swayed and connected to the top surface of the inclined electroplating box 11. The interior of the inclined electroplating box 11 is filled with electroplating liquid 114 wrapped around the outer surface of the swing arm 14.

[0027] While the electroplating rod 143 is undergoing electroplating treatment inside the electroplating solution 114, the radiation from the power source generates a high-temperature heat source. At this time, when the electroplating solution 114 is drawn into the cooling tank 13 using the liquid guide tube 12, the electroplating solution 114 preferentially impacts the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132. Due to the obstruction of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132, it impacts the electroplating solution 114 together. Simultaneously, the electroplating solution 114 disperses to both sides along the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132, thereby increasing the flow path of the electroplating solution 114 and also increasing the contact between the electroplating solution 114 and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132. Within the contact range, the heat source inside the electroplating solution 114 is absorbed by the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 and the heat-conducting plate 131 through their thermal conductivity. At this time, the fan 133 on the outer surface of the cooling box 13 blows air. During the airflow, the heat source on the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 and the heat-conducting plate 131 is blown away. As the temperature at one end of the surface of the heat-conducting plate 131 and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 drops rapidly, a certain temperature difference is generated. The thermal conductivity is then used to allow the heat source to be quickly transferred out, thereby keeping the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 in a state of thermal interaction.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 - Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a motor 141 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the swing arm 14, and a storage tank 142 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 141. The outer surface of the storage tank 142 is adsorbed into the interior of the electroplating liquid 114. An electroplating rod 143 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage tank 142 at the middle position. A second sealing cover 144 is movably sleeved on the top surface of the storage tank 142. Locks 145 are provided on the two sides of the second sealing cover 144 and the storage tank 142.

[0029] The components to be electroplated are placed inside the storage tank 142. The locking buckle 145 seals the top surface of the storage tank 142 with the second sealing cover 144. The swing arm 14 swings on the top surface of the inclined electroplating box 11, placing the storage tank 142 into the inclined electroplating box 11 at an angle. At this time, the two sets of overlapping support bars 113 on the inner wall of the inclined electroplating box 11 overlap the bottom outer surface of the swing arm 14, thereby supporting the position of the swing arm 14. This allows the storage tank 142 to be immersed in the electroplating solution 114. The motor 141 rotates the storage tank 142, allowing the components inside the storage tank 142 to be fully mixed with the electroplating solution. Then, the electroplating rod 143 discharges inside the electroplating solution 114, thereby fully electroplating the components.

[0030] Working principle: While the electroplating rod 143 is undergoing electroplating treatment inside the electroplating solution 114, the radiation from the power source generates a high-temperature heat source. At this time, when the electroplating solution 114 is drawn into the cooling tank 13 via the liquid guide tube 12, the electroplating solution 114 preferentially impacts the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132. Due to the obstruction of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132, it impacts the electroplating solution 114, and simultaneously, the electroplating solution 114 disperses to both sides along the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132, thus increasing the flow path of the electroplating solution 114 and also increasing the contact area between the electroplating solution 114 and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132. The contact range is then expanded, and the heat source inside the electroplating solution 114 is absorbed by the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 and the heat-conducting plate 131 through their thermal conductivity. At this time, the fan 133 on the outer surface of the cooling box 13 blows air, and the air source blows away the heat source on the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 and the heat-conducting plate 131 during the airflow. As the temperature at one end of the surface of the heat-conducting plate 131 and the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 drops rapidly, a certain temperature difference is generated. The thermal conductivity is then used to allow the heat source to be quickly transferred out, thereby keeping the surface of the heat-absorbing aluminum plate 132 in a state of thermal interaction.

[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clarity and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
